10	* TeamSwitzerland: They want to have nothing to do with the destructive goals of the Hellfire Club or the foolish dreams of the Underground. They just want to be able to live in peace within their community.

47
48	->'''John Proudstar:''' Most mutants first access their abilities from strong emotions: fear, anger, pain. But those are all unreliable. The challenge is to tap into something positive.\

56	* BreakingTheFellowship: She eventually joins the Morlocks, getting disillusioned with the Underground fight after [[spoiler: the Inner Circle murders all of their leadership]].
57	* DeadpanSnarker: Her sense of humor is quite sarcastic.
58	* EmeraldPower: Her eyes are an eerie shade of green and are integral to her ability to form portals. Wearing colored contacts to disguise them makes it impossible for her to focus her powers.
59	* FacialMarkings: She gains a pink slash over her right eye after her injury.
60	* InTheBack: [[spoiler: How she meets her apparent end, courtesy of Jace Turner.]]
61	* IOweYouMyLife: She thinks she owes Polaris because the latter was captured while helping her escape the police.

63	* PointyEars: She has a set of elf-like ears as one of the more obvious signs she isn't a normal human.
64	* PortalCut: She does this to a police car after it gets partway through one of her portals before it closes. She also uses a dog toy to demonstrate to Eclipse that if she can't see where she's porting, it's a ''very'' real danger of using her powers.
65	* PowerIncontinence: She displays some difficulty opening her portals, and keeping them stable for more than a few moments; Thunderbird implies that this is normal with mutants who use fear as fuel. And after she gets sick in the second episode, she loses any ability to control them at all.
66	* RaceLift: Is Asian, while her comic counterpart's ethnicity was Bahamian.
67	* ThinkingUpPortals: Her skillset involves teleportation through portal constructs.
68	* ThisIsUnforgivable: Tears Dreamer a new one for [[MindRape implanting her with a memory that's not hers]].
69	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: Jace Turner shoots her in the back after she opens a portal to help Erg escape, but her demise isn't shown in a clear way.]]
